AIIMS Study Finds Yoga May Boost Tobacco Cessation and Mental Well-Being
A study by AIIMS Delhi found that practising yoga may increase tobacco users' chances of quitting by about 50%, while also reducing anxiety, depression, and cravings linked to addiction. The systematic review and meta-analysis included seven randomized controlled trials with 629 participants from the US, India, and Thailand. Researchers suggest yoga could be a moderately effective addition to conventional tobacco cessation programs, addressing high relapse rates globally.
